bioidentical hormones

Aging and medical conditions affecting your endocrine system can wreak havoc with your hormones. Hormonal imbalances and deficiencies attached to menopause or andropause could have a detrimental effect on your sense of well-being. For some, the side effects are unbearable, and their quality of life is adversely affected.

Men and women can experience hormone imbalance for a number of reasons. Some of those reasons are poor diet, illness, growing older, lack of exercise, and exposure to certain environmental factors that change the chemistry within the human body.

The 2002 study of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) found that the use of synthetic hormonal therapies (HT) in post-menopausal women has an increased risk of coronary heart disease, blood clots, and strokes.
